UL Conditions of Acceptability
When used in end-product equipment, the following are
among the considerations to be made:
The temperature tests were conducted with the devices face mounted to
an aluminum heat sink. For devices with the frame designation 34, the
dimensions for the heat sink were 10” x 10” x ¼”. For devices with the frame
designation 42, the dimensions for the heat sink were 12” x 12” x ½”. The
shafts of both frame designations were also provided with aluminum wheels,
approximately 4” in diameter and ¼” thick.
These devices are intended for installation in a Pollution Degree 2 (controlled)
environment. Suitability of the spacings shall be considered in end use application.
The enclosure of this device is intended as the final end use enclosure.
These devices do not provide motor overload protection.
These devices have not been subjected to the short circuit test. This test shall
be considered in the end-product investigation.
The following MDriveAC Plus Products are excluded from UL Recognition:
1.
MDriveAC Plus 34 and 42 models with a rear motor shaft extension, i.e. Control Knob versions
MDriveAC Plus 34 and 42 models with IP-65 sealing. 2.
